Cheese Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Sounds specific to UPT. Any mention of any other UFT programs?
Wx2Flt Posted February 7 Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Musicman4 said: I reached out to AFPC regarding when we can expect our date and location notifications, "Due to 19AF resets of training programs all training scheduling is on standby and no UPT training is expected to be added until March timeframe. RNLTD is normally 30-45 days prior to Class Start Date. And RIP pis expected 1-2 months prior to RNLTD. You could be scheduled anytime throughout the year. If you have not heard anything by end of March get back to us and we’ll ask schedulers for anticipated training dates and location. Too soon right now." So, we might be waiting a little while. Same for UCT?

Wonder how this affects MFS and IFT too?Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

EyesOnTheSkies Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Does anyone know when IFT dates are expected to be released? On the PSDM it says that for IFT we will “receive a training RIP shortly after release of this PSDM.” Not sure if the delayed UPT date release applies to IFT as well

They said that was up to schedulers to decide if I did have to go back or not. If I did end up having to go back, they said it would be most likely end up being a TDY sometime this summer.

Do you think they will release IFT information before they start releasing UPT information? Or do you expect them to release it all around the same time?

I’ll try to poke around and see if I can get some deets from others who have gotten selected previously. 1

Are you RPA? You won't have to go again. Two years ago, people who did go went anywhere from March to May with UPT start dates ranging from June/July all the way into the following January.

Nightmare2773 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 2 hours ago, goboldtigers said: Got an email, 22 Feb MFS date Edit: IFT 2 April I’d check email. Mr. Caetano just blasted an email out about folks possibly not needing MFS. It starts off asking if you wear contact lenses. Reference below from a sentence pulled from the email: ”if you have had an MFS approved (not the same thing as an IFC1) you are likely to not require another MFS” another line says if you are scheduled for something that you do not believe you need, let them know

I wonder if I'll have to go through it again even though I'm good on my class 1. I do wear contact lenses sometimes so I replied

I went through for RPA in ~2018 and was told I’m good. Hoping the same for you.
Hope2Fly Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Curious as well - went through years ago for CSO and kinda hoping I’m good to go.

For the life of me I can not remember if I already did MFS there or not though lol. I don't think I did. Pretty sure I went to the local AFB near my home that could do it for CSO. I know I've been to Wright-Patt for the centrifuge so I'm confusing that TDY with MFS in my memory. Where can I check to confirm?

I personally didn't get the email, but I was selected for UCT. Do UCT selects need to go to Wright-Pat? I hear it's not needed for UCT.

I've been getting conflicting information from people. Logically it doesn't make sense to go back, but AFPC made it sound like there was a possibility so then I got all confuddled 😞

Do UCT selects need to go to Wright-Pat? I hear it's not needed for UCT. Great question! I’m honestly not sure. If I were to guess, any currently rated O’s with an approved MFS does not have to go. I only say this because I called the MFS folks and they said MFS is generally a one time thing. I could be totally out to lunch, tho. On another note, since the email was only sent to UPT folks, it seems as though it only applies to us. Idk dood. Sooo much conflicting data lol. If you have already gone to MFS and got an MFS RIP, I’d def give Mr. Caetano a call.

Where can I check to confirm? You can call the MFS folks and they will likely ask for your social to see if they have your MFS packet. I think I reached them at 937-938-2647. That’s the number I found on their website. 1
